Hi Mr. Q,
Your post is very convoluted and I'm not certain of what message you are trying to get across, but I think I have an idea. If my answer doesn't answer your question please let me know.
The question is in all texts of evolution life correlates to reproduction and reproduction is a key driving force in the evolution process. But nobody actually said why is that the case?!
I don't think you are asking why reproduction is necessary for evolution (right?) because the answer is so obvious. I think you are asking why we have to reproduce at all.
Well, why is anything the way it is? Why do we have to continually eat food to gain energy? Why do we need sleep? It could be surmised that it is more advantageous to never have to eat and never have to sleep. But these questions are meaningless because it would presuppose that nature is cognizant of itself and desires to make things the most efficient as possible.
Nature does this quite accidently through natural selection. It's not that nature
wants to do things the most efficient way, but rather it just ends up that way (survival of the fittest).
Also if you can elaborate on the origins as well. Like if we assume the life came from organic molecules in the earth atmosphere or in a primordial soup, why on earth should a molecule suddenly decide to reproduce or even forced to reproduce?
The first organisms were allegedly prokaryotes, capable of reproducing with itself. More complex beings are eukaryotes which need to reproduce with members of the same species but opposite sex (there are a few exceptions).
Now, it would seem that prokaryotic tendencies would not be phased out. We still have prokaryotes but why did nature select a far more difficult way to mate, the eukaryotic way? The answer is: No one knows.
I have read wikipedia about selfish gene. It says Dawkin's claim that a reproducing molecule have an advantage over other molecules. I don't understand where is this coming from. What I think is that whist reproduction can increase the density of the molecule in a solution but also soon the resources will finish and the process ends there. Much like when a fire starts. It extends as far as it has fuel and air to burn and then stops. I don't understand what is the advantage here?!
Obviously something that is able to reproduce won't have its species go extinct. You really can't see the advantage in that???
